Jena Sims fires back at critics who say she got 'Happy Gilmore 2' role through husband Brooks Koepka
Sims posted a TikTok video on Monday night, where she pushed back on the narrative that she only received a cameo in the hit Adam Sandler sequel because Koepka was one of the main golfers involved.
"When I actually auditioned for Happy Gilmore 2, but everyone thinks I'm in it because of my husband," Sims captioned her TikTok.
Sims had a few seconds of screen time in the film, which featured 74 different cameos, from golf stars like Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo, to Travis Kelce and Bad Bunny.
She was one of the die-hard golf fans of a rival to Sandler's iconic Happy Gilmore character.
Meanwhile, Koepka was among the golfers who competed against the new "Maxi Golf" league team in the film. He was alongside fellow LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau and PGA Tour stars Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
Other present-day golfers like Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Will Zalatoris, Keegan Bradley and Collin Morikawa, among others.
Sims also spoke to People about how she offered some acting tips to her husband.
"He felt like he was stepping into my world," Sims explained. "I had to teach him how to read a script and how to find certain things within the script. It was cool watching him step out of his comfort zone because that rarely happens."
Sims, 36, is an actress and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, who married the five-time major champion in 2022.

Woodley and Bravo first showed off their romance when they stepped out together in Paris multiple times in late March.

They were photographed holding hands, sharing a hug and draping their arms around one another, smiling as they walked outdoors. Weeks later, Bravo briefly addressed their relationship at the opening night of Broadway's Good Night, and Good Luck on Thursday, April 3. Responding to a question about the actress, Bravo said, "Yeah, I'm really happy." Later that month, the Emily in Paris actor put his romance with Woodley on full display by going Instagram official with her. He shared photos from their trip to Slab City, Calif., with the caption, "Howdy Slab City 🌵" A source later told PEOPLE that Woodley and Bravo are "having a great time together."

Who Has Brittany Snow Dated?
If you watched The Hunting Wives on Netflix in one sitting (guilty), then you might be wondering whether Brittany Snow's love life is as complicated IRL as it is on screen. The answer? Very much yes. In fact, the Pitch Perfect alum's marriage (and subsequent divorce) was a big part of Selling the OC season I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. Want to know everyone Brittany has romanced in the past (as well as what happened with her marriage to Tyler Stanaland)? Let's get into it. Brittany's first major relationship in the spotlight was with musician Michael Johnson, who she dated for just about three years before calling it quits in 2007. 'Brittany really cares about him but can't focus on a relationship now,' a source told In Touch at the time. The two then gave their relationship another shot in 2012 but ended up splitting a few months later. (Fun fact: Michael later went on to briefly date Brittany's Pitch Perfect costar Anna Camp.) Little is known about Brittany's relationship with actor Josh Henderson, but it's widely reported that the two ~briefly dated~ between 2007 and 2008 (as evidenced by the above photo). After meeting on the set of the indie film Walk, Brittany and Ryan Rottman dated for about two years before breaking up in 2010. 'They just grew apart,' an insider later told Just Jared. 'They're still great friends but are just focused on their careers right now.' Dating rumors started circulating about Brittany and musician William Tell after they were spotted holding hands at Coachella. However! By early 2012, William was dating Lauren Conrad, to whom he's now married. Brittany dated Teen Wolf alum Tyler Hoechlin for three years, though the two kept their romance pretty low-key. As she told Cosmo back in 2015, 'We like to keep our moments to ourselves, which is why we don't do much social media. We're not hiding anything. We're not not wanting people to know.' By the end of 2015, the relationship had fizzled out. In late 2015, Brittany raised eyebrows when she was seen at Madison Square Garden attending a Knicks game with filmmaker Andrew Jenks. At the time, a source told E! News that the two were 'casually' dating, but little else was heard about the maybe-romance. Brittany began dating her future husband—professional surfer turned real estate broker Tyler Stanaland—in 2018 after he slid into her Instagram DMs. 'We had a bunch of friends in common, and he actually reached out to me on Instagram with a really lame pickup line,' she told People when asked how they met. By February 2019, the pair was engaged, and they married a year later in March 2020. But then, in September 2022—less than a month after the release of Tyler's Netflix reality series Selling the OC—the couple announced their decision to separate. The reason? Tyler's Selling the OC costar Alex Hall, with whom he developed a very flirty relationship in season one. After the divorce was finalized, Brittany spilled all the breakup tea during a tell-all interview on Call Her Daddy. 'I was not aware of a lot of things, and I'll say that,' she told host Alex Cooper. 'So, I will say, what people think happened, happened.' Well then! Most recently, Brittany sparked romance rumors with photographer Hunter Moreno after they were papped kissing in New York City in October 2024. It's unclear whether they're still dating, but she did give him photo cred on this July 2025 IG post, which feels promising!
